Manufacturer Description

The Magellan Roadmate 760 GPS is the next step in the Magellan 700 range of In Car Autorouting GPS. The Roadmate 760 has many of the features of the popular Magellan Roadmate 700, along with a few extras that make this unit worth a look.

The Magellan Roadmate 760 has a 3.8" anti-glare TFT color touch screen display with the added feature of an automatic day and night time color mode for optimum viewing.

Another feature, new to the Magellan Roadmate 760 is SayWhere™ Text-to-Speech Voice directions. The SayWhere function will not only tell you the distance to the next turn, but will also speak the name of the street. This means you can keep your eyes focused on the road, not having to read the GPS screen.

GPS navigation is easier than ever with your Magellan RoadMate 760. Turn-by-turn voice guidance with SayWhere text-to-speech technology tells you when to take that next turn, including the name of the street and distance to the turn. Use the simple menus with QuickSpell™ to enter an address on the touch screen, or find nearby gas stations, restaurants, ATMs and more by selecting from nearly 7 million pre-programmed points of interest (POI). This is 5 million more POI than the Roadmate 700 GPS.

The SmartDetour™ feature will automatically route around stopped freeway traffic. Plus, if you find yourself stopped in traffic on city streets you can easily route around the traffic jam by selecting Detour on the Options menu.

Enter several stops on a single trip and the Multi-destination Route Optimization feature will calculate and guide you on the quickest route between them, or in whichever order you choose.

Let your Magellan RoadMate 760 guide you on every driving adventure with a set of advanced features that defies its ease and mobility. From the creators of Hertz NeverLost®.
